Asking this is reasonable sign in itself that something's weighed on you enough to be worthy of support! Therapy isn't reserved for rock bottom. Curiosity, a vague sense of wanting different for yourself, repeating unwanted patterns, nagging feelings you’ve carried alone for a while are all reason enough.

Fit can be tricky to know from a website alone; it usually takes some live interaction. If something on these pages is pulling at you, that's worth paying attention to. You can book a 20-minute consultation for a chance to ask questions and get a sense of how I work before committing to anything. The first session is also very much about you getting a read on me, not just the other way around.

I see adult individuals and couples. My foundational models are AEDP for individual work and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) for couples. Both are attachment-informed, both focused on emotional experience rather than just insight or skill-building.
Some specialties include: perfectionism, anxiety, grief and loss, trauma, self-esteem, intimacy, emotional regulation, relationship conflict, codependency, identity issues, climate grief and eco-anxiety, and life transitions.

My primary office is in Capitol Hill, Denver at 1557 N Ogden Street. I also hold limited in-person sessions in Old Town Lafayette (104 E Simpson Street) on Wednesdays. Virtual sessions are available to anyone in Colorado.
-
I see clients in Denver or virtually on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays, with limited Wednesday availability in Lafayette. Sessions are offered morning, afternoon and evening, but specific availability is subject to change. Book a session online to see current availability.

Yes. Virtual sessions are available throughout Colorado for both individuals and couples. Sometimes, client work is more appropriate for in person support, and we’ll talk about this if that’s the case.
-
Not typically. The work happens in session, with the goal that you take the experience home with you.
-
Both AEDP and EFT are experiential models, which means we're working with what's happening emotionally in real time, not just talking about it. Analysis and insight have their place, but they can also become a way of distancing from the feelings that actually need attention. In sessions with me, you'll notice we slow down a lot, pay attention to what's happening in your body, and work with emotion as it arises rather than around it.
-
It varies significantly depending on what you're working on and how things unfold. Some clients work with me for a few months; others for longer. We check in on how things are going and let that guide the pace and duration together.
You have the right to end therapy at any time, for any reason. That said, when possible, it’s valuable to talk about it before it happens. How we end things often reflects how we end things elsewhere, and there's something worth noticing in that. A planned ending also gives us a chance to process changes and leave with a sense of completion. If something isn't working, I'd always rather you tell me so we can address it or find you a better fit.
